Unglamourous gear purchase: Gigbag deal

BurningSkies · #1 07-23-2010, 09:45 AM

If you're like me, spending cash on stuff like gigbags and cords, etc. kinda sucks. It's pretty 'unsexy' but essential to have.

That's why I was sort of psyched to see that todays MF "stupid deal" is a decent gig bag for 15 bucks:

Thanks.

Grabbed one.

I'd been using a laptop bag for my zoom R16 and 1/4" live recording snake and such. This will work much better. The laptop bag was a bit tight.

Fifteen bucks was too much to pass up. Even if it ends up being spare mic and speaker cords, I'll still feel like its OK. I've just been using a duffel bag.

I go to Goodwill and resale shops. You'd be amazed at how many nice bags of all sorts are available for anywhere from $1-5. Nice computer bags, heavy duty canvas bags, leather bags, Samsonite bags with handles and wheels... the list goes on and on. I buy bags for everything except instruments and rack gear from places like that. And they need the money more than Musicians Fiend.

Good deal on a great bag, I've been using a tweed one for several years still good to go. Room a plenty for my small pedal board, cables, music and other stuff

Do you know if the inside is one pocket or divided? That's the one thing they don't have a picture of.
